At the time, Michael Jackson was on Epic Records, so it was the biggest record label in the world.

It's called the KIT Festival, the Keep It True Festival.

あなたのシャドーイング・チャレンジ
さあ、今すぐshadow speechの練習を始めましょう！ビデオの中でケンが「I mean, obviously everybody remembers that first record with Sammy Hagar.」と言っている部分を見つけて、シャドーイングしてみてください。次に、「It's going to be a very interesting year.」の部分を3回繰り返します。トーンやリズムに合わせて、口の動きも真似してください。この練習はshadowspeakの基本であり、IELTS スピーキング対策にも最適です。少しずつでも積み重ねれば、自然な英語が口から出るようになりますよ！
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
